How much is a Hemi Challenger worth?

Quick Answer
Genuine 1970-1971 Dodge Challenger R/T cars with the 426 Hemi are six-figure cars, often $200,000 and well beyond for documented, numbers-matching examples, with convertibles at the very top. Hemi production was tiny, which drives the value. These are estimates; condition and documentation move the number a lot.

The Hemi Challenger is blue-chip muscle.

Why so valuable

The 426 Hemi was expensive and rare when new, so few were built. A documented, numbers-matching 1970-1971 Hemi R/T is among the most desirable American muscle cars; Hemi convertibles are unicorns.

Buyer's note

Hemi cars are heavily cloned. Demand the broadcast sheet, fender tag, and engine verification before paying Hemi money.
